Only one work

Most horses have had their final major work for the Derby. Trainer Barclay Tagg sent out Wood Memorial winner Tale of Ekati for his last major work Tuesday morning and he went a half mile in :49.40 seconds under exercise rider Kristen Troxell.

”You can’t see much of anything unless you watch it on TV,” said trainer Barclay Tagg. ”You go the clocker’s stand and watch it on TV — corporate America! I just wanted him to go a nice, half mile. He went fine, nothing dramatic.”

Big Truck, Tagg’s other Derby runner, went five furlongs in :59.40 seconds on Monday.
